This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Balmoral Avenue is presented primarily as an investment opportunity. Set on a small plot with a private rear garden and off-street driveway, the property is offered freehold and currently produces an annual gross income of £5,208 from long-term tenants who wish to remain. Its modest purchase price creates an accessible entry point for buy-to-let investors or portfolio builders.
Internally the home follows a traditional layout over two storeys with a lounge, kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms across approximately 700 sq ft. The exterior shows contemporary brickwork and double-glazed windows, suggesting relatively recent build components. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical advantages for tenants and landlords managing lettings remotely.
Location is a mixed picture: close to local amenities, bus links and schools rated Good, but the surrounding area is classified as very deprived with average crime levels. That context supports tenant demand and steady rental returns but may limit upward capital growth compared with stronger markets. Buyers should weigh steady income against local market conditions.
Practical points for purchasers: the property is sold with sitting tenants and a Buyers’ Premium will apply to the sale. The overall footprint and plot are small, so scope for extension is likely limited without planning. This is best suited to investors seeking an income-producing, low-entry-cost addition to a rental portfolio rather than buyers seeking a large family home.
